Graham Greene, Travels with My Aunt

 Rather enjoyed that, the tale of a dull retired bank manager who gets sucked into a jet-setting life of intrigue by his eccentric aunt. At first I assumed it was set either in the '30s or '50s and couldn’t quite place it, and was shocked when there was a reference to Kwame Nkrumah (and then later the Beatles), and realised that it was written in 1969. At the weekend i fell over while walking Grogu on St Martha's Hill and really damaged my knee. at first i thought it was really serious as I couldn't move, but with pain i managed to hobble back to the car. Once the adrenalin wore off it was really painful and i couldn't put any weight on it at all. I'm walking round with a stick now but it does seem to be improving. Doesn't help that I have a dental appointment today and work is very stressful currently.
